FAQs

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?

As a coach, I’m focused on equipping couples with the tools they need to move forward, together, in their relationship. I’m not here to diagnose individuals or get too deep into one person’s inner work. That being said, at times I may refer one or both partners to a licensed therapist to do personal work.

What is the Gottman Method Couples Therapy?

The Gottman Method is an approach to couples therapy that includes a thorough assessment of the couple’s relationship and integrates research-based interventions. To learn more, visit The Gottman Institute.

Do you work with individuals?

My specialty is working with couples in a 2:1 setting. At times I may suggest a 1:1 session with each partner to learn more about the issues at hand, but all the work is about helping both partners create a happier and healthier relationship together.

What will a consult call look like?

The consult call is a 15 minute conversation to give me a quick overview of your relationship and the areas you and your partner want to focus on. During this conversation we’ll discuss the service that will best serve the relationship based on your individual goals.

If I already know which service I want, do I still need a consult call?

Yes, and here’s why…

My ultimate goal is to give couples the tools they need to be effective communicators. The best way to do that starts with me having a better understanding of what makes you and your partner the people you are. Our first session and/or the Relationship Assessment will be more customized when we’ve had a chance to speak before getting started.

What will our first session look like?

Our first session together is an opportunity for me to get to know you and your partner and better understand what makes your relationship unique. Once we’ve established the strengths and areas of concern in your relationship, I’ll create a roadmap for the remaining sessions.
